Mission Statement

Bay Area Girls Rock Camp is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that empowers girls through music, promoting an environment that fosters self-confidence, creativity and teamwork. Although our camp centers the experiences of young women, we are committed to gender justice and creating an inclusive environment that supports a wide range of marginalized gender identities and expressions. BAGRC challenges gender stereotypes, encourages collaboration and tolerance among peers, and provides a comfortable space for people of all backgrounds to express themselves. Through music lessons, workshops, group activities, and performances, girls acquire skills that help guide them throughout their lives.

Description

We exist to:

Build confidence in youth through music education

Provide youth with positive role models as they are discovering their own voice

Foster a space where youth support each other and feel free to express themselves without judgment and competition

Create a space where difference is celebrated and nurtured

Empower youth to recognize, understand and respond to discrimination

Create a world free of the myths that tell young people they can’t do or be something because of their gender

We value:

Building and sustaining an inclusive and diverse community

Providing services to youth regardless of their families’ ability to pay

Nurturing an intergenerational environment that brings together youth and adults
